Re: PostgreSQL uninstall fails

yes, this is on windows.

Currently removing the data directory and the postgresql user is not optional.  It fails and does not remove those two items.

There must be 30+ registry keys still there as well. 

What I am looking to do is to delete any registry entry:
  1.     that has a data value matching the pattern '*postgres*'
  2.     that has a directory value matching the pattern '*postgres*'
  3.     that has a key name matching the pattern '*postgres*'

thanks

Can anyone get me started on where to checkout the postgreSQL installer code and fix it so that it is no longer broken?  I may need to ask a few questions so if I can be put in touch with the uninstaller team, would really like to get this fixed and go back and patch everything from 8.4 forwards so that it is fixed.

are you talking about the MS Windows installer from EnterpriseDB?   about the only clue was the mention in passing of 'registry'.


deleting the postgresql 'data' directory and the postgres user account should be optional.
